King Willem and Queen Maxima Visit Wartburg castle, Eisenach

The Dutch royal couple, King Willem Alexander and Queen Maxima visit Wartburg castle in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany, Tuesday, February 7, 2017. They are receiving information from Andreas Volkert employee of the Wartburg. Standing at right is Thuringia's Minister of Finance Heike Taubert, and at left Eisenach's Mayor Katja.

Maxima wouldn't be getting lost in that outfit amidst all of the black on everybody else.The dank cold of a German winter has everybody else wrapped up tightly to the neck. She soldiers on, smiling, and freezing - for sure. I bet she was wishing for a fur cape, too. Could she borrow one from her mother-in-law?

The carpet coat is back! Sorry, I still don't like it. It's just a shaggy rug in an interesting colour.I normally love tan/brown and blue together but these two shades are just too much for my taste. And the bow blouse with the bright suit is definitely too much.

I agree about the coat with no fastening in front. I have a beautiful camel color coat and did not realize that there was not even a snap up front... but I digress.... I actually like the combination of colors here but I must add that not many people can pull off this color combination like the Queen.
